Toasting with the Countertop Oven
Both the top and bottom cooking elements will heat when this function is selected.
Recommended Rack Positions:
Use the lower slots along oven walls.
Position the oven rack as shown in Position
E (bottom slot, rack up) in the
“Understanding Positions of the Oven Rack”
section.
To Toast:
1. For best results, place the bread to be
toasted directly on the rack.
2. Toast up to six slices of bread. When
toasting only one or two slices of bread,
center the bread in the oven.
3. Close the countertop oven door.
4. Turn the Function control knob to the
TOAST setting.
5. Turn the Temperature control knob to
the right to the BROIL/450° setting.
6. Turn the Toast control knob to the right
to the desired toast color; Dark, Medium
or Light. Toast ready bell will not sound
unless the control knob is turned past
the first dot before turning the control to
the LIGHT icon.
TIP: For more consistent results,
preheat oven for 5 minutes prior to first
batch of toast. First batch of toast is
typically lighter than the selected setting
on a cold oven. Preheating the
countertop oven or adding more time to
first batch yields more accurate toasting
on first batch.
7. The bell will sound and the oven will
automatically shut off when the
countertop oven has finished toasting.
8. Turn the Toast time control knob to “0”
(off) if toast is removed before the bell
sounds.
9. Adjust Time control knob settings as
needed to get desired results.
NOTE: It is normal for condensation to form
on the door when toasting moist or fresh
breads.
IMPORTANT: Countertop oven will operate
only if the Toast function is selected and the
Toast timer is used to select time. The Time
control knob does not work with the Toast
function.

the “Understanding Positions of the Oven
Rack” section. Adjust as needed for your
cooking situation.
